Personalized medicine is a way to rob you blind. Drugs cost unreal money. So does the hospital administration.

But isn’t personalized treatment kind of key to treating cancer?

Most modern cancer drug treatment is sequenced to at least the specific proteins of the type of cancer it is.

Have breast cancer? Cool. We figure out which of the many variations so that we can give you medications for that exact type of breast cancer.

This sort of specific targeting has been increasing and increasing for the last 20 years. MRNA is the next step of that and is highly likely to be a means or become or for treatments in many other areas.
